	codes if necessary. Target: 2003. Responsible Agency: 
	Community Development Department.  
	H-A-4-g Traffic Evaluations. Traffic evaluations shall be 	Foster City
	completed when site-specific development is proposed 
	and/or a Rezoning application is processed. Each site-
	specific evaluation should consider intersection and freeway

	commercial uses in areas consistent with the Land Use Plan

	studios and 1 bedroom and 2 spaces for 2 or more bedrooms

	commercial development. The shared parking provision 
	reduces project costs and increases the number of units that 
	(2.7) Secondary Units. Allow creation of secondary units on 	San Mateo
	single-family properties to provide opportunities for 
	affordable rental units or to allow for the housing of 
	extended families. Require that the design of secondary 
	units be compatible with the main residence and 
	neighborhood, provide adequate on-site usable open space 
	and parking, and not infringe upon the privacy of adjoining 
	(2.12) Mixed Use. Continue the policy of encouraging 	San Mateo
	residential uses in existing commercial areas, or in locating 
	adjacent near transit nodes, where the residences can be
